Gawker uses the term weed carriers
It just so happened that Boston Celtics point guard Sebastian Telfair, a Coney Island native (see, local angle!), had his chains stolen outside Justin’s, Diddy’s restaurant, 20 minutes before Fab was shot in a parking garage near the restaurant. Telfair claimed the timing of the two incidents were just a coincidence, a security camera at the garage begged to differ. Turns out, the men who stole Bassy’s chains are also Fab’s weed carriers, as they say in the industry.
Are the confusing “the industry” with a dozen or so hip-hop blogs?
Be Down with your Country Cousins
noz is like… killing it as usual. 2 dope (and related!) mp3’s he pointed me to this week:
A post on Geto Boys – Be Down which linked to Talib Kweli featuring UGK – Country Cousins
Life insurance?
Jeezy announced that he’s recorded 114 songs and will pick the best 14 for his next album. The other 100 he has a plans for that extend beyond this mortal coil.
“I did this in case something ever happens to me, so I’ve got a couple of albums left. You never know these days.”
The threat of 6 or 7 post-humous Jeezy albums is more than I can bare. An announcement like this should be as good as a full kevlar suit.
Don’t kill Jeezy, please!

Thanks for the shout-out. Thanks, too, for hipping me to this blog. I’ll grab your feed and will look forward to more posts. Definitely some good dialogue happening here.
